Sprockets OCC Stingray Sprocket Help Plz

I ordered a 70cc motor kit and the holes on the sprocket are about 3/4" too close to the center of the sprocket to fit on the rear tire. Same thing with the rubber pieces and the metal pieces that go inside the tire. Is there any way around this? I don't want to do any drilling or cutting to the tire. Maybe I could drill the sprocket holes out about 3/4"?

Yeah, get the sprocket/hub mount from "Livefastmotors"; (in fact I like their chopper kit.) You have to drill the holes in your hub to mount their's. With my 36T sprocket I had to Dremel out the holes a little bit to match the hub.

If anybody has a better chain tensioner idea for the OCC StingRay I would sure be interested in seeing it!

Well you can move the motor mount forward or back to take up the slack. That's how I delt with that when I lost the tensioner. Only problem is when you use a smaller sprocket the chain hits the brake assembly.

Ah, with the 40-44 tooth sprocket you will get great torque, (but do you really need to climb telephone poles). So I went down a few teeth, to the 36T sprocket. I think that size is about right for the OCC StingRay. The bike will do about 30mph balls out, but it likes to cruise about 20-25mph. That's not a bad idea considering that cheesy rear brake is the only thing between you and your maker........But hey, it's a chopper, we don't need no sissy front brakes and shocks....Most chopper riders wouldn't even wear a helmet unless they mandated it.

Thanks', yes I was looking at this awhile back and was trying to find it on the TS site but couldn't find it. I will track it down and give it a shot, it looks like a much quieter setup than that hard plastic wheel.
